Polygraph True Crimes - The Cookie Caper

I have to share the unfortunate news that there was a recent crime right in my own neighborhood. The press has been all over this, dubbing it 'The Cookie Caper'. What follows is an overview of the investigation:





Let's start at the beginning. A neighbor of mine came home this evening to find the horrific crime scene above. He was in utter shock and disbelief!





After initial questioning, a likely suspect was discovered after a cookie crumb was found on her shoe.





Of course she denied this dastardly deed and was asked to take a polygraph test





After careful review of the charts, the results were 'No Deception Indicated'! How could that be? It was time to look elsewhere.





Several days later and to everyone's amazement, a long forgotten home security camera had somehow captured the real criminal in the act!





The real criminal was tested, failed, confessed and is looking at hard 'time out'.



And Polygraph helps solve another crime.

The End.




The Polygraph Place will be a vendor at the American Polygraph Association Seminar in Nashville, Tennessee, August 2-7. We hope to see you there and be sure to stop by our tables and say hello. And my hair has grown back. Woo hoo!

Ralph's St. Baldricks Fundraising Results

I had intended to put this information in the last Relevant Issue, but it fell through the cracks in my focus on transitioning to this blog.

Thank you to all who supported me in the St. Baldrick's Day Fundraiser. Together, we raised over $1,000 for children's cancer research. I took my children and I was wondering if they really understood what this was about.

Well, I got my answer to that a couple weeks ago. Without my fully knowing what they were going to do, my children got several neighborhood children together. All of them then walked the neighborhood asking for donations to help with the hospital bills for a neighbor they all knew had just had a major surgery. They raised about $18 in change. Although we did have a talk about when/how it is appropriate to ask for money, I was so very proud that they got the main message. People get sick and often there is nothing they can do about that and they need some help to get through it.

So your donations are also passing on lessons of generosity to the next generation.

For those interested, here is a link to a movie presentation I put together to show the highlights of my experience at the St. Baldrick's day event.
